The largest single loss by fire or explosion ever experienced by the United Kingdom occurred June 1, 1974, as a result of an unwise plant maintenance modification. A total of 28 individuals lost their lives, 36 employees experienced injuries, and 53 nonemployees had recorded injuries. Estimated property damage was 63 million (U.S. 1976). [16]...

The recordable injury rate was at a peak of 1.7 per 200000 hours in 1993. Since then it fell steadily to 0.9 per 200000 hours in 1998, and rose slightly to 1.06 per 200000 hours worked during 1999. 

Lost time accidents a chart is given showing global frequency rates for OSHA recordable injuries. At DuPont the figure has varied between approximately 0.5 and 1.0 injury per 200000 hours. In 1998 and 1999 the figure was nearer 1.0. 

The recordable injury frequency rate for employees fell from 2.65 injuries per 200 000 hours in 1996 to 1.01 injuries per 200 000 hours in 1999. The figures include both injuries requiring medical attention or that result in restricted work, as well as lost time incidents. 

Total recordable injuries are also reported. In 1999 the figure was 14 per million hours worked compared with 16 in 1998 and against a target of 12. 

Lost time accidents the internet report indicates that the global recordable injury/illness frequency rate fell from 5 per 100 employees in 1992 to just over 3 in 1997. The figures in the CER for 1998 and 1999 were 4.63 and 4.93, respectively.

The OSHA system uses the following formula in determining company annual injury and illness incidence. The total number of recordable injuries is multiplied by 200,000 and then divided by the number of hours worked by the company employees. This gives an injury frequency per 100 person hours of work (injury incidence). These measures can be compared to an industry average. 

In order to establish reliable quantification measures, a consistent set of terms and reporting standards is required. In the area of occupational safety, considerable standardization has already been achieved through the use of measmes such as the number of first-aid cases or recordable injuries. Although different organizations will apply these terms slightly differently from one another there is sufficient consensus to allow for their use across broad swathes of industry. For process safety it is much more difficult to come up with comparable yardsticks. Hence comparisons between different facilities may lack validity and credible trend lines are difficult to develop. 

These indicators include well-established parameters such as lost time accidents, first-aid cases and recordable injuries. Figure 3.3 illustrates how the indicators are tracked over time. Lagging indicators are widely used because, assuming that there are enough events to ensure statistical significance they allow management to establish baselines, measure trends, and to compare results with other facilities and companies.

In 2000, our total recordable incidence rate of 1.02 per 200,000 employee hours worked bettered our 1999 rate and was well ahead of the industry average for large companies of 2.26 recordable injuries per 200,000 employee hours worked. For the 2001 fiscal year, results continued to improve, with recordable accidents dropping to a rate of 0.82 per... 

Intel employees continue to improve on their world-class safety performance. OSHA recordable injuries have decreased an average of 30 percent each of the last five years. 

Think about what Heinrich intended for the major injury category. His definition compels the conclusion that any injury requiring more than first aid is a major injury. Then, is it not so that, according to Heinrich s definition, every OSHA recordable injury is a major injury When Heinrich developed his definitions, very few companies were self-insured for workers compensation. Having insurance companies pay for medical-only claims was typical. Almost all such claims would be considered major injuries. 

Type of incident Record injury or illness, fire, property damage, enviromnental incident, product loss, or significant event that did not result in harm or damage but had the potential to do so. 

Not only has the rate at which employees experienced a recordable injury decreased by l6.0% since calendar year 2003, but also the Days Away/Restricted case rate, the measure of cases in which employees were absent from work, restricted, or transferred as a result of a workplace injury or illness, has declined by 19.2% over the same period. ... 

OSHA Form 300 — Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. This form requires you to enter basic information about each recordable injury or illness. The form must be kept for five years following the year in which the incident occurred. Employees and... 

Count the number of calendar days the employee was on restricted work activity or was away fi om work as a result of the recordable injury or illness. Do not count the day on which the injury or illness occurred in this number. Begin counting days from the day the after incident occurs. If a single injury or illness involved both days away from work and days of restricted work activity, enter the total number of days for each. You may stop counting days of restricted work activity or days away fi om work once the total of either or the combination of both reaches 180 days. 

An incidence rate is the number of recordable injuries and illnesses occurring among a given number of full-time workers (usually 100 fulltime workers) over a given period of time (usually one year). To evaluate your firm s injury and illness experience over time or to compare your firm s experience with that of your industry as a whole, you need to compute your incidence rate. Because a specific nmnber of workers and a specific period of time are involved, these rates can help you identify problems in yoiu" workplace and/ or progress you may have made in preventing work-related injuries and illnesses.

An acronym for Days Away, Restricted work activity, and/or job Transfer (DART) Case Incidence Rate and is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as the rate of recordable injuries and illness cases per 100 full-time employees resulting in days away from work, restricted work activity, and/or job transfer that a site has experienced in a given time frame. Restricted cases are defined as any occupational injury or illness that results in the limitation of employees ability to do their job (i.e., no lifting, climbing, etc.) or being transferred to another job (restricted days). The annual DART rate is calculated according to the following formula ...
